Get MNDFL Trained Like This:

 

  • Get Expertise: MIT is a live training led by expert MNDFL Facilitators who offer feedback and mentorship focused on your development. They won’t hold your hand, but they’ll be there to support you at your growing edges.

  • Get Intimate: Join a small cohort of less than 24 people - no one gets lost on page 5 of the Zoom screen.

  • Get Collaborative: Within your cohort, you’ll connect weekly with a MNDFL Pod of 5-6 peers to build accountability, ask questions, and stay motivated. With this level of connection, nobody gets left behind.

  • Get Interactive: Weekly sessions are held live on Zoom to connect with MNDFL Facilitators, get your questions answered, and dig deeper into the training content with your MNDFL Pod in breakout rooms. There’s no joining this training anonymously just to “listen in” - this is where your unique mindfulness voice comes alive. 

  • Get Practiced: Theory is all well and good, but what happens when you sit in front of people to share? How about people that are different - that stretch your learning edge? Scripts will get you but so (not very) far. Practicums are project-based learning, because learning-by-doing is the premier way to learn.  

  • Get Ready: NEW! We've now made MIT Even More Accessible. It's no secret that mindfulness is for everyone, so we've ditched the applications to join our live Mindfulness Intensive Training. While we call it MIT, you don't need a 6-page resume or tons of experience to join. Just bring the curiosity and commitment to make your life a more mindful one, and we'll meet you there.

Deepening Your Practice and Expanding Awareness Is Real

We welcome everyone, but let's face it: not everyone wants to go deeper.

This is for you if you want to...

  • Deepen your work as an educator, counselor, trainer, healer, or just as a plain human.
  • Expand your perspective and learn a language that meets people where they are across lines of race, class, & gender, and can speak to the experiences your fellow humans are having.
  • Experience and learn the science-backed research and evidence-based benefits of mindfulness.
  • Develop your mindfulness muscles with renowned and experienced teachers and experts to give you the strength and confidence to flex these techniques anywhere.
  • Apply mindfulness in the real world within your workplace, home, relationships, and everyday life. 

This is NOT for you if...

  • You’d rather “go it alone” than engage mindfully with peers as you deepen your understanding and practice.
  • You want a mindfulness training with no accountability, no work, no commitment.
  • You expect a homogenous experience of mindfulness that doesn’t challenge your perspectives.
  • You hope mindfulness will be a “magic pill” when the real benefits only come with consistent practice.
